ESIC updates 21-27 September 2026: pay advanced for bank strike

ESIC directed its offices, hospitals and medical colleges to pay September 2026 salary, wages and pension on 25 September 2026, ahead of a three-day nationwide bank strike ending 30 September. The payment is an advance and will be adjusted against October salary, wages or pension.

ESIC allotted revenue region codes to new sub-regional offices at Bilaspur, Rajkot, Jamshedpur, Jabalpur and Meghalaya. The ICT branch must update the ERP and insurance module.

Heads of office may assign finance charge only to officers who have completed the prescribed National Testing Agency training, and they must check the training certificate. A temporary assignment without that training is allowed only in an exceptional case, and only with approval.

ESIC published a draft 2022 all-India seniority list for assistants and head clerks and asked staff to send objections to the E-II branch. Other staffing orders cover link officers, additional charge of Medical Commissioner (West Zone), a further additional-charge order, transfer of a superintending engineer (civil) from Punjab to headquarters, a move of an assistant director from the Recruitment and PG Cell to the PG Cell, and appellate-authority levels in the SPARROW module for medical-officer sub-cadres.

It also nominated Central Liaison Officers for OBC and EWS reservation, and notified SRO Alwar and the Alappuzha branch office subordinate to SRO Kollam under rule 10(4) of the Official Language Rules, 1976.
